Mental Health Initiative
Since 2019, DSEF has partnered with the Dripping Springs Independent School District (DSISD) to prioritize mental health and wellness within our schools by hiring three mental health professionals. Renewed in 2023, the Mental Health Initiative now includes a dedicated counselor for staff. We’re helping to foster a culture of care by ensuring the social and emotional well-being of students and staff alike.
Innovative Teaching Grants
We empower classrooms with our Innovative Teaching Grant Program. Funded by community donations, this program allows DSISD teachers and staff to turn a creative idea into an impactful learning experience. During the 2023-2024 school year, over $65,000 in grants were awarded to teachers across the district, helping them create new experiences for all their students.
Student Leadership Grants
Designed to foster leadership and empower students, our Student Leadership Grants support impactful projects that benefit schools, our community, and beyond. With over $17,000 in grants awarded during the 2022-2023 school year, we are excited to continue inspiring innovation and change for students with your donations.
Nick LeFevre Community Youth Fund
Honoring Dripping Springs resident William N. LeFevre, the Nick LeFevre Community Youth Fund ensures financial barriers don’t limit DSISD students from participating in school-sanctioned activities. Eligible students can apply for support, helping create a more equitable environment where every student can follow their goals and dreams.
